Cudi says he will retire after 1st Album

This isn’t generally the type of news I like to post on a Monday morning but here it is. Something has really got to Cudder. I have my ideas to what that may be but I’m not going to share. Anyways I’m off to work so I’ll just post what he said and hopefully I get some time to leave my thoughts when I get back.

AFTER THE RELEASE OF MY FIRST LP THIS SUMMER, IAM NOT MAKING ANY MORE SOLO ALBUMS. IAM FALLIN BACK ON BEING A ARTIST. THE DRAMA THAT COMES WITH IT IS MORE OVERWHELMING THAN THE SHIT I WAS DEALING WIT WHEN I WAS PISS POOR BROKE. MY FRIENDS GET MAD AT ME, SAY IVE CHANGED, ONE OF THE ONLY HOMIES I GOT IN THIS GAME, WALE, IS WORRIED ABOUT ME CUZ OF SHIT HE HEARS. LIKE WTF? WHO CAN SAY IM BEIN HOLLYWOOD? IM NOT AROUND ANYONE BUT PLAIN PAT AND EMILE. WHO CAN SAY THAT SHIT? MUTHAFUCKAS TALKIN SHIT HERE AND THERE, SPREADIN RUMORS, MAKIN JOKES, TRYNA JUDGE ME, AND FOR WHAT? DOES MY MUSIC POKE FUN AT OTHERS? DO I TALK SHIT ABOUT PEOPLE N MY MUSIC? I ALREADY WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL ONCE, AND GOT EXPELLED CUZ IT WASNT FOR ME. IMA DROP OUT THIS SHIT BEFORE NIGGAZ TRY AND CRUCIFY ME.

I DONT LOOK AT IT AS QUITTING, FOR I HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED MY GOAL. I HAVE A SOLID FANBASE WHO TRUELY APPRECIATES ME AND MY MESSAGES THRU SONG, I GOT MULTIPLE BIG RECORDS, I HAVE RECIEVED WORLDWIDE CRITICAL ACCLAIM FROM THE BIGGEST TASTEMAKERS IN THE GAME, 3 FAN MADE BEST OF MIXTAPES WITHOUT EVEN RELEASING MORE THAN ONE MIXTAPE AND NOT EVEN RELEASING A ALBUM, I CAN PAY MY MOMS MORTGAGE AND HELP MY SISTER WITH MY NIECE AND HOLD MY BROTHERS DOWN WITH WUTEVER THEY NEED. THATS WUT I GOT IN THIS GAME FOR, TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THESE GOALS AND I HAVE. NO REGRETS

IM SORRY TO THE FANS, IM SO SORRY YALL. I KNO U GUYS WILL ALL HATE ME, BUT REMEMBER, IM JUS A REGULAR DUDE WHO WAS GIVEN A AMAZING GIFT, AND NOW WITH THAT AMAZING GIFT CAME MORE UNCALLED FOR PROBLEMS THAN THE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

I WILL STILL DO THE COLLAB ALBUM WITH CHIP, AND THAT WILL BE MY LAST STUDIO RECORDING.

IAM GOING TO FOCUS ALL MY ATTENTION ON THE HBO SHOW WHICH WE START SHOOTING IN AUGUST AND MY ACTING CAREER IN GENERAL…ILL CONTINUE TO DO SHOWS FOR THE REAL KID CUDI FANS, AND IM PLANNING A BIG CONCERT THIS SUMMER, JUS ME, AND I WILL PERFORM MY ENTIRE MIXTAPE FROM BEGINNING TO END AND NEW SONGS FROM MY ALBUM. ILL KEEP U GUYS UPDATED ON THAT

AGAIN, IAM SORRY, BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP ME FROM GOING COMPLETELY INSANE. IM TOO REAL FOR THIS HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SHIT. BAK TO THE MOON I GO

    Not too happy to hear this, but then I think back to how many rappers have said this before. I mean look at Jay-Z. He’s said this a numerous amount of times, and is still in the game.

    Hopefully Cudi will decide against this and continue to make great albums.

    I guess there’s nothing we can do as fans to stop whatever Cudi decides. However… after ALL of the impact he’s made from being on the cover of XXL, to making one of the illest dance remixes to take over worldwide, to being one of the most hyped up artists in music in general (not just hip-hop) and he hasn’t dropped an official album yet??

    Cudi. Listen. You have no idea how much your work has influenced my decision-making and my sound. I look up to you so much and for you to bounce after one joint is a major letdown. That doesn’t mean shit to you I know, but we (as fans) are the only ones that should matter (besides yourself of course) when it comes to this whole music shit. Critics, haters, etc. are always gonna be there and drama will follow. God gave you a gift like you said. Keeping that from the world is not a decision to be taken lightly. He made you to impact people’s lives. And yes, you have accomplished a lot. But you still have so much more you are capable of.

    If you’re reading this (which you’re prolly not… oh well), please reconsider and think it through. Either way, we’ll support you. Just don’t drop it over so bullshit like haters cuz they don’t matter anyways.

    Wow, i really was looking forward to a great career from you, but it looks like we won’t hear much from you. I respect your decision, and i hope you change your mind. But if you aren’t, you better make your first and last album a CLASSIC.

    CUDI..NO DOUBT YOU’RE FLUSTERED BY ALL OF THE BULLSHIT BUT YOU’D BE PULLING SOME WEAK, SELL-OUT SHIT IF YOU DROPPED OUT THIS EARLY. LOOK AT KANYE…HE IS THE MARTYR OF THIS GAME & HE’S ONLY GOTTEN BETTER, BIGGER & WISER. TAKE HEED TO THIS!!!! YOU HAVE ONLY SHOWCASED THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF THAT WHICH IS YOUR TALENT & THE REAL CUDI…YOU COULD BE THE SHINING LIGHT TO THIS GAME. KEEP SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH THE POSITIVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOTTEN YOU THIS FAR…ONLY SPEAK TO PEOPLE BETTER THAN YOU, WISER THAN YOU & HOLD YOUR MENTORS CLOSE…LOOK TO THE MAN IN THE MIRROR WHEN YOU NEED TO REFLECT & CENTER YOURSELF. THOSE YOU THINK ARE YOUR FRIENDS, LIKE WALE…HOW TRUE ARE THEY IF THEY’RE WILLING TO DOUBT YOU SO QUICKLY??? SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LEAVE SOME PEOPLE BEHIND TO BLAZE (PUN INTENDED) THROUGH THE MADNESS WHICH IS CELEBRITY STATUS TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS. YOU ‘HAVE’ BEEN GIVEN A GIFT…WORK ON IT, BE A HUMBLE SOLDIER & EMBRACE THAT SHIT…YOU MAY HAVE A LOYAL FAN BASE (MYSELF INCLUDED), BUT SHIT MAN…IF THAT’S ALL YOU WANTED (ALONG WITH THE MONEY TO HANDLE WHAT YOU NEED TO), THAN YOU COULD HAVE STARTED A FUCKING BLOG CALLED ‘ALIENS ONLY’…STAY TRUE BRO…WE’VE ONLY SEEN A GLIMPSE OF THE REAL CUDI & YOUR ALBUM HASN’T EVEN DROPPED YET!!!! THERE’S SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS GAME…BUT IT ‘IS’ A GAME…DON’T SIT BACK ON THE BENCH…BE THE FUCKING POINT GUARD. YOU DON’T WANNA BE THE GUY WHO COULDN’T HANDLE IT…YOU DON’T WANNA BE THE GUY WHO SEES ALL THESE WACK MC’S MAKING BULLSHIT RECORDS & POLLUTING CURRENT & FUTURE GENERATIONS…WE NEED THE CUDDER. THE WORD OF THE DAY FOR YOU BRO…PAY ATTENTION: “DENSHOKU” IT MEANS, INSPIRATION. TAKE A BREAK FOR A MINUTE IF YOU NEED TO…PULL A KANYE, WHATEVER…BUT COME BACK & SHOW US YOUR “DENSHOKU”…SHIT, THAT COULD BE YOUR NEXT SINGLE OR ABLUM TITLE. ANYWAY, AS KANYE SAYS: “LOVE YOUR HATERS, THEY’RE YOUR BIGGEST FANS.”

    Hey Cudi man, i dont know if you read this shit, but im not gonna try and say some stuff for you to stick it out and shit. If your havin problems with your friends bailin and causin personal problem, you gotta take care of yourself first. do what you gotta do. Im def grabbin your album the second it hits shelves and hopefully you will make a run down to Los Angeles for a performance. Maybe we will see your actin career take off next. Keep bein yourself and take care of what makes you happy man. Peace
